WORDS
FROM THE KNDY:
Welcome
to the Asunaro Association's "J!-ENT
ASUNARO KARAOKE CENTER". It's a homepage
that promotes Japanese music, karaoke and the use of romanized
lyrics/translations
for Japanese students to learn English and people who want to
learn Japanese. This homepage is for those who are
fans of Japanese music. It is a homepage that contains
romanized lyrics along with the English translations
of songs. Lyrics are from Japanese music fans who
took their time to translate and romanize the songs. Also,
you will find some that were
done
by Japanese foreign exchange students who put
a lot
of time and effort in making their translations which
allows them
to practice their study of the English language and to help the
fans who are not fluent in Japanese to understand the
song they
love.
Please
note that with certain translations, some of our Japanese translators
do not have a complete grasp on English or slang terms, thus
some choice of words may be a bit questionnable. Everyone
has their own way of translating lyrics and I ask for you
to not give them a hard time if you
think it's
not perfect to you. So, it's not about who has
the better lyrics... it's all about helping you-the fan of
Japanese
music.
Since
when we last created the KARAOKE section on J!-ENT many years
ago, now you can find more sites on the Internet carrying
JPOP
lyric translations. Please look at our navigation
bar on the right under JPOP LYRICS SITES for more up-to-date
lyrics.

NOTE2:I want to thank everyone who has submitted lyrics to the Karaoke
Center. I also want to thank those who gave me their permission
to use their lyrics for this site. The only thing I ask is
that many of the lyrics that are submitted do not have the names
of the people who romanized and translated the lyrics. If possible,
can someone let me know who did the work, so they can be credited
for their hard work. Thank you again for your support.

If
you want to remove vocals from your audio file,
then you will need to use a software like GoldWave.
There is also a plug-in
(from Analog X) for Winamp that removes
vocals from MP3's.
If
you really want to sing karaoke of Japanese songs and you want
to karaoke at home, you have two choices. Purchase a JPOP VCD
or DVD karaoke disk which you can get from places like Mikado
Laser Japan in Japan Town, SF or on ebay. You can also use the
instrumental/karaoke track that accompany a JPOP CD Single.
In
Japan, you can hear and watch your favorite JPOP stars singing
karaoke on music television shows like "Yorumo Hippare"
(The Night's Hit Parade), "Love Love Aishitteru", "SMAPxSMAP"
and more. So, for a limited time here are a few short sound
clips of your favorite JPOP celebs singing karaoke from "Yorumo
Hit Parade"! [Real Audio is needed, so if you don't have
it, please click on the Real Audio button on the top of the page.]
NOTE: This is only here to promote karaoke and JPOP, if you like
the songs, buy the singles/album.
Here
members of the Asunaro Association and people sing the karaoke
of their favorite JPOP songs. You need a Real Audio player
to listen to some of these karaoke files.
